Wings of Glory Wednesdays YouTube series starting

Hey guys! Starting this week, I'll be doing a podcast-type series on my YouTube channel about Wings of Glory WW1. Each Wednesday, I'll upload a new episode. Things I plan to cover are individual planes, tactics, hobby news, mini painting...really anything related to the game.

Latest episode:
Hello fellow enthusiasts! In today's Wings of Glory Wednesdays episode, I'll go over a Central Powers two seater that I have a particular soft spot for: The Halberstadt CL.II.

Also, more repainting episodes are definitely on the way! I've just been busy with work + college, etc. and haven't had the opportunity to paint yet.

Good effort Cole - note that the X deck of the Phoenix D.I also has a non-steep 'short straight' like the L deck so it is no longer exclusive to the Fok D.VII.
It doesn't have the short steep turns but does have the standard pair of stall cards so can do a stall;'short straight';stall move.
Have a look at my manoeuvre breakdown doc if you want info on decks: https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/do...o=file&id=2043

Ah, good catch! And thanks for the document! I already have the next episode filmed, but it will certainly come in very handy in future ones!

I never considered the Camel having a climb advantage until I watched this Cole. I will certainly be pulling a couple of Immelmann turns early on in my next game.
Keep up the good work.
Rob.

It certainly is something to think about! A climb rate of 3 gives you just a little bit more leeway when throwing those Immelmanns in. If done right, it can make staying close range on your tail a bit harder for those faster climbing birds.

In today's Wings of Glory Wednesdays episode, I unbox a vintage Belgian Re8 and take a look at its capabilities on the game table. Big shout out to Evan at Rival Sky Games for sending me the Re8 for this video, BTW! That was super-generous of you, and I sincerely appreciate it.

Ahhhhhhh! Noooooo! Bending the cards by ninety degrees to free them from the shrink wrap! Nooooooooooo!
Rip-a-clip Wasteland style in your general direction! Ramboesque contorting of lips! Diving to the attack! Ramming speed! Emptying twin Vickers! Unleashing Heat Ray! So say we all!

Nooooooooooooo..........

Edit in: And as long as I am giving you a hard time on your wonderful videos...

Gott im Himmel, it’s Immelmann!

Or the reverse mnemonic device...

I’m not I’m-melmann!

Lol! No I don't...these were a little more supple than the Wings of Glory stuff I'm used to dealing with. They bent rather farther than I intended while taking the shrink wrap off, but are none the worse for the wear. No discernible bends to any of them.

...And I solemnly vow to get the Immelmann pronunciation right from now on. A lot of you worthy chaps probably feel like this after hearing me butcher the name for so long: I'll fix it, I promise!

The RE.8 is a must have aircraft for your inventory if you want an allied victim... I mean target !
It could only be better at that job if it was slower, like the Albatros C.III, then it would be easier to catch. At least a Fokker Dr.1 or Albatros D.III could then run it down without making the 'Harry Tate' play lots of stalls or setting up a converging scenario. A versatile machine scenario wise, useful for bombing, recon, arty spotter, spy drops, rescues and in play from Nov 1916 to wars end. Every player should have one.

Hi Cole, I finally got round to watching your videos and very much enjoyed them, I've been playing the game a bit over a year, all solo so no one's brain to pick about how somethings worked. You kept mentioning altitude and rate of climb and it seemed important in how you evaluated a plane. Playing solo, I'm using the various AI systems available and it's possible for them to use altitude but tends to be in response to what I do. I haven't found using altitude or rate of climb brings anything to my games, it slows things down a lot and there are more rules to forget but I don't really see the requirement for it to make the game better.

Sorry to be so long winded but I would very much like to see some videos on tactics in general but especially why altitude and climb rate would be an advantage I believe once there is a certain altitude band difference between planes they can't fire at each other anyway.

By the way I thought your Fokker Vll was spectacular, very well done with the stripe/chevrons on it.
Cheers
